Lyrics Sleep - Edit - Elvis Costello

A voice in my head, a voice from my past
Talking in tongues I recognize
A sound in my room, is it rain on my window
I lie awake eyes open wide

Sometimes I read, or watch my t.v.
Tryin′ in vain to close my mind
I'm tossin′and turnin'
I'm cold then I′m burnin′
Sometimes I think this bed's too wide

Oh, how I wish I could sleep
Oh, how I wish I could sleep

I think of my father remember my mother
I wonder if they can see me now
Sleep¡.
Sleep¡.

Oh, how I wish I could sleep
Oh, how I wish I could sleep

Solo

Sleep¡¡.sleep

Oh, how I wish I could sleep
Oh, how I wish I could sleep

Oh, how I wish I could sleep
Oh, how I wish I could sleep
